Indeed, Allah and His Angels send prayers upon the Prophet. O you who believe! Send prayers and abundant salutations upon him. [Surah al-Ahzab 33:56]

Sending Prayers upon the Prophet is an extraordinary work of scholarship infused with Prophetic love that expounds upon the command of Allah and His Prophet to send abundant prayers and salutations upon the Master of the Messengers and details their deeper meanings, great virtues, numerous benefits and different rulings.

Steeped in spiritual insight and profound love and devotion, Imam Abdallah Sirajuddin unravels the secrets of this noble act and elegantly explains its high status by drawing extensively from the Qur'an and Hadith traditions and the understandings of the scholars of the past.

Sending Prayers upon the Prophet will satisfy students of jurisprudence and the spiritual path alike, inspire them to act out of love for our Master Muhammad , and intensify their yearning for him .

Live happily with never-ending union
With the one you love, with the veils of distance raised
Witness the utter beauty of the one for whose sake
The hearts of the lovers split asunder from its light
Be of good cheer for attaining what you hoped for
Upon the brow of the Elect Prophet has the sun of the forenoon shined!
